answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2015 answer text <p>There are no plans to require restaurants and take-away food outlets to specify the fish species being offered for sale. However this information should be available to the owners or managers of these establishments, so they could let their customers know which fish they are buying if they are asked.</p><p>The general provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990, General Food Law Regulation 178/2002, and the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 make it an offence to label or present food in a false or misleading way. A failure to adequately describe or label fish species in a food may constitute an offence under these rules.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 14/10/2015 14:01:41 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
